Another one I forgot: Nicklas Backstrom. Can’t see how he doesn’t get in with likely over 1,000 points and being a Cup champion. The 2 world golds and an Olympic silver also help I think.

Carey Price, yeah I know winning the SC for goalies helps.

25th in save percentage among active players. Hall of very good methinks, but he's basically an average to slightly above average goalie who has been on some good teams imo.

For current goalies I think the list is in order (surefire above the line, uncertain below)

Rinne
Lundqvist
Price
Luongo
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bobrovsky
Holtby
Rask
Fleury
Miller

And where the line is on that list for in and out of the HOF I'm not sure. Depends on longevity with some of these guys still. Bob and Holtby keep doing what they've been for 5-7 more years I'd guess they are in. But if either dropped off in the next 2-3 years I could see neither coming close. So tough to say esp since wins seems like a big factor even though goalies often can't control that.

Billy Smith, Ed Belfour and Eddie Giacomin are all in. You could say the same about all of them.

McDavid has only played 3.5 years and he's already a hall of famer? ...With only one of those seasons making the playoffs?

I agree about Fleury, but the HOF voters have consistently recognized mediocre goalies with multiple Cups, regardless of how much they factored into those Cups (or road the pine behind the rookie).

He'll get in methinks.

Are we counting guys still getting paid and officially on a roster but are on LTIR for the rest of their career?

If so, this guy deserves mention:

The same could be said for Jagr who hasn't officially "retired".

EDIT: Then also Pavel Datsyuk especially if he comes back to the Wings.
